Description

To check that the implementation is correct, there should be tests against reference libraries such as https://crates.io/crates/lzma-sys, for example:

  • compressing with one implementation and decompressing with the other,
  • decompressing with both implementations and checking that the result (or error) is the same.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Write tests that compare compression/decompression results with the lzma sys crate. Use the reference library to compress data, then decompress with lzma rs and verify equality. Also test decompression of reference encoded data with lzma rs.
